On November 2, according to people familiar with the matter, Tesla expects to start mass production of its electric pickup truck Cybertruck by the end of 2023. Production delivery progress was further delayed.
As early as June this year, Musk mentioned at the Texas factory that the design of the Cybertruck has been locked. At the same time, Tesla officials said on social media that the Cybertruck will start production at the Texas factory in mid-2023. In early October, news broke that the Giga die-casting machine used to produce the Cybertruck will soon be delivered to Tesla’s Texas plant. Tesla’s 2022 Q3 financial report shows that the production of Cybertruck has entered the equipment debugging stage. As for mass production, it will wait until the Model Y production capacity ramps up to start, and it is likely that it will not enter the early production stage until the middle of next year.
It can be seen that the Cybertruck is advancing step by step and is expected to be delivered by the end of next year.
The Cybertruck has changed from the concept car in many places, such as the overall size reduction of the body, the addition of windshield wipers, and the regular physical mirrors. In addition, in the latest real car picture, the frameless door of the Cybertruck still does not have a door handle and is opened by swiping a card.
In terms of interior, the “ yoke” special-shaped steering wheel and a floating screen in the center , the “Yoke” special- shaped steering wheel, and the scroll wheel buttons on the left and right sides; the rear of the steering wheel has a raised structure, which is an existing product in Tesla. If it is not included in the list, a dashboard will be added.
There is also a black rectangular area near the A-pillar of the new car, and its specific function cannot be determined at present. The inside of the door has also changed, more like the inside of the door on other Tesla products.
It is worth mentioning that Musk said on social platforms at the end of September , “The Cybertruck will have enough water resistance that it can act as a boat for a short time, so it can cross rivers, lakes and even less turbulent seas. ” About Cybertruck the final implementation of the function still needs to wait for the mass production delivery next year.
